The information on this page is for requesting wire transfers within the United States. If you wish to send money overseas, please view this page on foreign wire transfers.
Incoming Wire Transfers
To ensure timely and accurate receipt of your incoming wire transfer, please provide the sending institution with the following information.
Wire funds to:
- Bank-Fund Staff Federal Credit Union
- Washington, DC
- ABA (Routing and transit) Number: 2540-7417-0
For credit to:
- Recipient’s name
- Recipient’s Credit Union account number and account type (S8, S9 etc)
Outgoing Wire Transfers
We will need the following information to expedite the delivery of your outgoing domestic wire transfer:
- Your name and signature
- Your BFSFCU account number and account type
- Date of the requested transfer
- Your telephone number so that we may call you to verify the request
- Dollar amount of the transfer
- Beneficiary information, including name, address, account number, receiving bank’s name and address, receiving bank’s ABA number, and the receiving bank’s ID code (BIC, CHIPS, or SWIFT code)
Please note that if the beneficiary is someone other than yourself, the transfer request must be confirmed by you in writing and include your signature.
We are committed to begin processing requests within 24 hours of receipt, but please note that wiring funds generally takes 1-3 days to arrive at the final destination. Any number of things can increase the time required to process the request, such as insufficient information, verification measures for account security, conversion into a foreign currency, the number of intermediary banks, or even depending on the country in which the recipient’s bank is located. Please take this into consideration when planning to send funds and allow for sufficient notification in order to better ensure the funds arrive when needed.
Refer to our fee schedule for current fees on outgoing wire transfers.
